Tripoli’s Mitiga airport reopens after brief closure

Mitiga Airport in Tripoli

Libya has reopened the only functioning airport (Mitiga Airport) in the capital Tripoli again after rockets fired in its direction forced a brief closure, officials said on Tuesday, days after flights had resumed following an earlier shutdown.

The airport has closed and opened several times since a flare-up in violence in late August.
